Member Benefits

Monthly membership meetings are normally on the second Thursday of each month at 12:00 p.m. The program consists of a short business meeting followed by a 20 to 30-minute presentation relevant to the legal field. Many times, CLE credit is available for attendance at some meetings. The cost, which includes lunch, is $15 for members and $18 for nonmembers.

There are approximately 10 local CLE Live Seminars on various topics sponsored by the Escambia-Santa Rosa Bar Association each year. Some of the seminars are audio taped for the Bar CLE library. Member and nonmember rates are determined by the number of approved CLE credits.

To foster the efficient sharing of pertinent, law-related information among peers in the legal community, the Escambia-Santa Rosa Bar Association provides paid email distribution (e-blasts) and mailing label services to ESRBA members, nonmembers, law firms, and other organizations. Complimentary services are restricted, in most cases, to announcements from the Court, The Clerk of the Courts Office and The Florida Bar.

These paid services may be purchased for law-related purposes only, such as job postings, lawyer or firm announcements, office space for rent or sale, and address/location changes. Content or print material that is political or disparaging in nature, contains confidential information, or implies an endorsement by ESRBA will not be accepted. The ESRBA reserves the right to decline any request for service.

• Thoroughly proofed, exact content must be submitted sans any graphics or images in a Word document to esrba@esrba.com. (Graphics, images and PDFs tend to reduce the likelihood of delivery to the intended recipient due to email firewalls and spam filters.)

• All paid e-blasts will contain “A paid message from” in the subject line as well as in the body of the email.

• Payment must be received in advance of dissemination.

• All e-blast requests must be approved by the executive director.

• Rates: For members, the cost for a paid announcement to fellow members is $195 plus tax and $250 plus tax to reach all area attorneys. For nonmembers, these fees are $ 295 plus tax and $350 plus tax respectively.
